Simple  Gifts





Yo-Yo Ma  and  Alison Krauss



'Tis the gift to be simple

'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down

Where we ought to be

And when we find ourselves

In the place just right

'Twill be in the valley

Of love and delight


When true simplicity is gained

To bow and to bend

We shall not be ashamed

To turn, turn

Will be our delight

'Till by turning, turning

We come round right

Beautiful David... thanks for posting. Was just listening to Alison Krause earlier this morning.

Lovely collaboration between these two very accomplished artists. They breath such wonderful authentic Life into these simple yet profound words. Indeed we join them in dwelling in the valley of love and delight.
